There is a change to the scheduled task on Friday 28th November.
We are retunring to Parkside Centre, BD5 instead of going to Rodley Nature Reserve. We need to complete the hedge laying task at the centre. We will reschedule a visit to Rodley in the New Year.
Sorry for any disappointment.
We will have a market stall at Shipley Alternative at Kirgate, Shipley on Saturday 1st November. 11am-3pm.
We will be selling apples and appley products.
Find out more about the market here
Apple Day will be on Sunday 12th October 12-4pm.
There will be a full range of activities but slightly different to previous years.
Bring a Picnic!

Nick's last day with BEES, after nearly 10 years of dedication, successful projects and supporting 100's of people in achieving their personal and environmental goals, is Friday 27th June.
After the Task at Boar's Well we will be going out to celebrate his time with BEES and wish him well in his new job. To start the evening off we will meet in the Lord Clyde at 5pm, followed by food and then perhaps the Sparrow Bar. We will have BEES mobile with 07970 621732.
We hope you can join us.
We have got some more dates to continue with our project to landscape the Canal Road Greenway. Over the next few weeks we will be raking over the ground alongside the tarmac path to create suitable conditions to sow seeds. This will ensure that the tarmac strip blends in nicey and will complement our work planting trees.
The dates are as follows:
Wednesdays 30th April, 7th May, 14th May, 21st May - leave Culture Fusion 9.30am
Thursdays 24th April, 1st May, 8th May, 15th May, 22nd May - leave Culture Fusion 9.30am
Friday 16th May - leave Culture Fusion 10am
We are celebrating Blossom Day on Friday 2nd May,11am-3pm, at the Orchard.
Did you come to Apple Day, Apple Cafe, cooking sessions, pruning training, grafting training, orchard management days, tree planting days?
In the past year all these activities have been supported by lottery funding as part of Bradford Apple Group's Apples for All project.
Blossom day is the last element of Apples for All project.
Please come and help us celebrate.
Please share the attached flyer with friends, family, colleagues, or anyone else who might be interested.
BEES are contributing to Bradford YMCA's WW1 project by creating a Ration Garden at Culture Fusion.
We are gathering seed varieties grown in 1914, creating raised beds, and recruiting volunteers to get involved.
As well as the gardening, we would love some volunteers to do a bit of research about gardening and crops grown during the war.
There is a chance to have some training in research techniques with the librarians at Central library.
Read more about the project and keep informed here.
The sun is shining. Be prepared for a bit of barbecuing!
We are selling our locally made charcoal at half price - a bargain at £1/Kg - until the end of March.
Bags are either 2Kg or 3Kg.
Contact the office to arrange collection.
Large clumps of frog spawn have been spotted in the Boar's Well pond. Along with several mallards.
Is spring here?
Just in case you are wondering Friday's task is at UNR Laisteridge Lane campus as planned (sorry - we have temporarily lost our project pages...we are on the hunt and hope to have them reinstalled soon!!)
